Preliminary results of mobile subscriber information inspection show that there are still some subscribers registered in many different provinces and cities in a short period of time. For individual customers with more than 10 SIM cards, network operators have processed more than 20% of the total number of documents with multiple SIM cards.
On the afternoon of August 8, in Hanoi, the Ministry of Information and Communications held a regular press conference for August, announcing that so far, 56 Departments of Information and Communications have submitted reports or conclusions on inspections on subscriber information management; 8 inspection teams established by the Ministry of Information and Communications have completed their direct inspections and are currently summarizing the inspection results. Preliminary results of the large-scale inspection of mobile subscriber information management show that, in addition to the situation where a subscriber is still registered in many different provinces and cities in a short period of time, many subscribers do not sign contracts when registering from the 4th SIM or more.

Recently, to prevent the situation of subjects taking advantage of registering subscribers under the name of many SIMs, activating them in advance, selling them widely... to commit fraudulent acts, affecting social order and safety, the Ministry of Information and Communications has continued to request mobile telecommunications enterprises to resolutely carry out the progress of reviewing and clarifying customers who own many SIMs (over 10 SIMs).
As of July 19, with the strong direction of the Ministry of Information and Communications, the active participation of network operators, and the support and cooperation of people and customers, the handling of subscribers with multiple SIMs (over 10 SIMs) in violation of regulations has achieved positive results. Specifically, by mid-July, network operators had reviewed and clarified ownership for all 100% of organizational subscribers. For individual subscribers with more than 10 SIMs, network operators have processed more than 20% of the total number of documents with multiple SIMs.

At the press conference, Deputy Director of the Department of Telecommunications (Ministry of Information and Communications) Nguyen Phong Nha said that in July, the Ministry of Information and Communications strongly requested network operators to communicate with users, especially subscribers with more than 10 SIMs. Up to now, with strong communication from network operators through text messages and customer care calls, users are requested to come to transaction points to re-sign contracts if they actually own more than 3 SIMs.
Mr. Nguyen Phong Nha hopes that the press agencies will continue to join hands in communicating so that users of mobile telecommunications services see that standardizing subscriber information is to protect the rights of users. When users buy a SIM card but register it under someone else's name, many problems will arise. Because that SIM card is not only used for texting or calling services but also for many other services related to finance, economics, and electronic transactions. Currently, the Ministry of Information and Communications is continuing to direct and urge businesses to continue implementing measures with the goal that by August 31, they will basically complete the task of ensuring that the person whose name is registered for the subscription is the person using that subscription number.
Referring to the widespread situation of spam calls and fraud via telecommunications networks, the Ministry of Information and Communications said that in recent times, it has coordinated with relevant agencies to continue to tighten control and handle violations in the management of subscriber information as well as value-added services on telecommunications networks. Thereby, limiting and aiming to completely handle the situation of spam SIMs and spam calls; disseminating and propagating about fraud via telecommunications networks and in cyberspace.
The Ministry of Information and Communications has also directed the Ministry Inspectorate, the Radio Frequency Department, and three major telecommunications companies, Viettel, VNPT, and MobiFone, to regularly review, detect, and coordinate with the police force to arrest and handle cases of using fake mobile radio signals to spread spam and scam messages. This situation has basically been prevented.
